My husband and I live in Central NY and have bad credit due to running up credit cards while unemployed. My husband inherited a house and we are trying to obtain insurance on it- however, 4 companies have turned us down due to our credit situation. Do any insurance companies have a heart anymore? Does anyone know of any companies that won’t turn us down?

Furthermore, how does a bad financial situation equal an irresponsible homeowner?

I think Because you do not pay your bills ie: bad credit…. You are a risk to them.
Ask about paying for it up front in a one payment a year deal.
Well that sucks. Unfortunately, in this economy no one is willing to take a chance on people if it means they might be on the losing end. Contact the NY department of insurance – if homeowner’s insurance is a requirement in your state, then you HAVE to be able to obtain insurance, and the state probably has either their own insurance or a list of insurers you can contact. Your rates will probably be higher than most because of your credit, but you can’t really blame them with all of the people just walking away from their homes now.
I think Foremost Insurance will write homeowners for people with bad credit.
No one has actually done a study, to the best of my knowledge, that has discovered WHY people with lower credit scores have higher claims and more frequent claims – so that answer is unknown. HOWEVER, the raw data does show that there is a direct corrolation between low credit score, and claims filed and paid out.
So just like there’s no defined reason WHY a 16 year old boy has more car accidents than a 35 year old man, we don’t know WHY people with lower credit scores have more claims. But the corrolation is real, and is there.
You can find a Foremost agent near you at on the agent locator tab.
based upon your situation,I think you should find something useful here
